The city of Las Vegas is gearing up tomorrow (Saturday) to host the “Riyadh Season Noche UFC” at the iconic Sphere in Las Vegas, the largest spherical building in the world.
This event will be the first-ever sports championship held at the Las Vegas Sphere as part of UFC events, and it also marks Riyadh Season’s debut as a sponsor in the United States.
Following the tremendous success of the “Riyadh Season Card” in Los Angeles, this event stands out by granting UFC the prestigious title of naming partner for the first time to a sponsor, renaming UFC 306 to “Riyadh Season Noche UFC.”
The highly anticipated event features a bantamweight title bout, with headlined by Sean O’Malley from the United States defending his title against Georgia’s Merab Dvalishvili..
The octagon will also feature an electrifying women’s flyweight title bout, as Mexico’s Alexa Grasso faces off against Valentina Shevchenko from Kyrgyzstan.
Additionally, the event will feature a featherweight bout between Brian Ortega from the United States and Diego Lopes from Brazil.
In the bantamweight category, Raul Rosas Jr. from Mexico will face Aoriqileng from China. Another bout will see Irene Aldama from Mexico taking on Norma Dumont from Brazil in a women’s bantamweight bout.
The excitement continues with a lightweight bout between Manuel Torres from Mexico and Ignacio Bahamondes from Chile. Edgar Chairez from Mexico will face Joshua Van from the United States in a flyweight bout. Another flyweight fight will feature Ronaldo Rodriguez from Mexico versus Ode Osbourne from Jamaica.
The event will also feature a women’s strawweight bout between Yazmin Jauregui from Mexico and Ketlen Souza from Brazil, with the event concluding with a lightweight fight between Daniel Zellhuber from Mexico and Esteban Ribovics from Argentina.
Notably, Riyadh Season previously hosted “UFC Fight Night” on June 22, 2024, where Australian Robert Whittaker delivered a knockout victory against Russia’s Ikram Aliskerov in the main middleweight event at Kingdom Arena.
